On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being Joel, a minus 5.

Yes. I very much dislike talking in a public setting and drawing attention to myself. And now because of Chats, I fear the Ah counter.

My boss made me but now that he has been eliminated Jay makes me go.

They already have by helping me feel a little more comforable speaking in front of groups. Chats has been great and I will continue to be a member.
